In September, the Shred were spreading the gospel at Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown, CA. Grateful Shred is Dan Horne on bass, Austin McCutchen on guitar and vocals, Sam Blasucci on guitar and vocals, Clay Finch on guitar and vocals, Jerry Borge on keys and Alex Koford on drums.
The Grateful Dead’s YouTube channel even got on the bus, sharing this video of “China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Ryder” saying “Check out this groovy China/Rider our friends Grateful Shred just posted 🐱🌻🏇 Have you seen these guys live yet?” “We end up sounding almost more like the Dead because we approach it in this free-spirited way.” “It’s more of a ‘take’ on the Dead than a tribute band,” says bassist Dan Horne. The thing is, Los Angeles-based Grateful Shred manage to channel that elusive Dead vibe: wide-open guitar tones, effortless three-part vocal harmonies, choogling beats, and yes, plenty of tripped out, Shredded solos. Another fucking Grateful Dead cover band? Grateful Shred is aware that the world doesn’t need another Dead tribute band.
Yes, they sold out the Troubadour in L.A. based Grateful Dead tribute band has been making waves lately with sold out East and West Coast shows.
